Best room placement for Cornwalls?

What do I do if I only have one usable corner in my listening room? My room has three corners and two are actually occupied by doors. Any suggestions are welcome.

The wall on the right is straight, but I can't draw it that way. The opening leads to a stair well going up to the next floor.

The name Cornwall comes from the idea that they can be positioned either in a CORNer or against a WALL. I've had success both ways. My room, while smaller, is similar in shape and I have them along the longer wall, toe-in slightly, about 6 inches from the closest speaker corner to the wall. Try them a few different ways and see what you like the best.

Regards,

Chris

I don't have my Cornwalls in the corner. They are on a 24' wall about 5' from each corner.

I tried them in the corners and they did sound different, more bass but being in the corner on a 24' wall they may have been a little far apart. It sounded good but it did have a slight hole in the middle,

I had them angled like if they were Khorns ,square in the corner.

Haven't really completely settled on where they will stay.

Work with what you have you will find a place where you like them, try to space them evenly from where you sit, but you can also adjust that a little by toe one in a slight bit more than the other. Probably get some more advice from others, check back.
